The professor who was always silent for the most part finally spoke up saying, "There is no use in hiding it now. The entire universe knows you and the Marshal had an awesome night. Look at the comments," showing the image circulating online.
Wen Qinxi had obviously seen it before but at that time he had overlooked that ambiguous red mark on his neck and now everyone knew. "Oh shit!" he swore his face scarlet red. This was too shameful. He did enjoy what they did last night but didn't want the entire world to know about it.
"Oh, don't be embrassed. We are all adults here. Plus everyone is celebrating your relationship especially after the whole Zhao Huangzhi saga. Maybe this will make her lose hope and abandon ship," said the Captain sympathizing with Zhao Xieshu.
"You wish. That Zhao Huangzhi is like a fuckin leech she won't give up till she sucks you dry," replied Wen Qinxi while messaging the Marshal asking him to take down that post.
A few light years away Qie Ranzhe received a notification and once he realized the message was from Zhao Xieshu, he jolted up in excitement reading what his baobei sent to him but his heart soon sank when he read the message.
NaughtyPrince: Take down the picture and anyone who reposted it. Everyone saw the mark you left on me last night.
Wen Qinxi patiently awaited a response while listening the the team yammering on about what their babies would look like and who among them would be the godparents. "Such fuckin nonsense. This ancestor is not fathering anyone," he said walking back to his secret room. Just then Qie Ranzhe's response came in. As he read it he could feel the tyrannical rage that came along with it his tone imperative.
SexyDaddyRan: Not happening.
Frustrated Wen Qinxi nervously rubbed his thumb against his index finger trying hard to ignore the conversation happening in the background.
"I saw an edible lingerie store the last time we fought the zerg. It would be perfect for Xie Xie's bachelor party," said the enthusiastic Hauidan sharing the store website.
"More like a sex education class. Xie Xie is utterly clueless when it comes to this stuff. We constantly have to remind him to take his supressant," replied Teng but Wen Qinxi didn't respond trying to negotiate with the Marshal,
NaughtyPrince: I will let you temporary mark me tonight if you take it down.
"As if you know how coitus works.....Aiyo....Teng-jie why are hitting me?" said Tong mocking his twin sister which landed him a slap at the back of his neck.
"As the best man, I will naturally be responsible for all that so there is no use fighting," replied a boastful Xiao Hua claiming the best man position for a wedding that hadn't even been planned yet.
"I am sorry but I have to interject. I am obviously Xie Xie's best man as I have contributed so much to this team. The mecha upgrades and weapons you solely enjoy were all of my design so I should be best man," said the Prof pushing up his glasses his bullshit meter in the red zone. His reasoning was obviously stupid but who was brave enough to call him out on his BS.
"You are awfully talkative today. Did you take the wrong medicine?" asked Teng pushing her brother off her shoulders once more.
This small unresolved matter actually started a disagreement among the five of them with the captain acting as a refeere but Wen Qinxi was the least bit concerned impatiently waiting for a response. Just when he was about to send a follow-up message, Qie Ranzhe finally responded.
SexyDaddyRan: Deal.
SexyDaddyRan: Won't come tonight but tomorrow. Will the offer still stand?
Wen Qinxi suddenly felt something was amiss with his response but didn't think much of it agreeing on the spot.
NaughtyPrince: Sure as long as you take it down today.
Thirty seconds later the entire Valim Network erupted in anger with the trending image erased on all online platforms and for those who had downloaded the image on their communicators, it was also erased leaving behind a laughing skull courtesy of the infamous UPSF hacker, Shadow.
A pleased smile crept up on Wen Qinxi's face praising the Marshal for being too powerful forgetting that power comes at a cost a cost so high making him regret his decision in the not so distant future.
It was only then did be shift his attention to the group of noisy omegas fighting over such a trivial matter. "How about you fight it out in the desert. Whoever wins will have the honour of being my best man. Same rules apply," said Wen Qinxi his great mood evident. He knew these adrenaline junkies wouldn't pass up an opportunity to show off their mecha fighting skills thus he suggested such a childish means of handling it.
"Wait.....I can't fight," said the Prof feeling a little left out. He really couldn't fight though he has designed countless mechas.
"Easy, Captain is not interested in the position so she will fight in your stead," replied Wen Qinxi ready to end this pointless conversation.
"Fuck no! Cap is too vicious. This competition is unfair," complained Xiao Hua recalling each time he suffered defeat in the merciless hands of Captain Rueda.
A wolfish smile appeared on Wen Qinxi's face saying, "Would you rather I do it?"
Everyone except for the captain and prof echoed a loud No! Involving Zhao Xieshu would be a definite win for the professor as they stood zero chance if they fought one on one with Zhao Xieshu. Even the captain who had fought countless battles could not compare with Zhao Xieshu then what about them? They would rather take their chances with the captain.
"Then go practice. The showdown will be tomorrow at noon," said Wen Qinxi before ending the call.
Just when he finally shut out the outside world attempting to try and electrocute the box open, he was startled by Xia Bai's voice electrocuting himself. "Shit.....," he said as a small electric current coursed through his arm before letting go, "it better be a fuckin emergency Xia Bai otherwise you are dead." He directed his anger at Xia Bai as he couldn't be angry with a brainless current.
"Heard you had an amazing night," said an excited Xia Bai curious to know how these two progressed so fast. He was seeking wisdom from this ancestor that managed to drive their CEO crazy in two worlds. Maybe some advice from Wen Qinxi would help him catch his prey.
Wen Qinxi, "....."
